LA movies

This is kind of in response to the "ny films" thread. What are some great films that really show LA, or show off some LA mentality? And no, Escape From LA does not count.

Onjes I can think of off the top of my head are:
Collateral
Training Day
The Lethal Weapon Series (?)
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown (but boy does it suck)
Colors
Crash
Heat (in LA?)

and the best LA movie of all time - David Lynch's Mulholland Dr.

Damn, there goes my idea.

How about Friday? It's like a funny LA version of Do The Right Thing.

Down And Out In Beverly Hills is another typical L.A. attitude flick.
